nut tree

Walnut plant, perhaps

A nut tree is any tree that produces edible nuts—walnuts, almonds, pecans, chestnuts, hazelnuts.

The term appears in agricultural and horticultural contexts: We planted several nut trees in the back orchard.

Nut trees typically require years to mature before bearing fruit.
